Embarking on a fairly ambitious naval action, methought a need for some settled places as bases or objectives for the opposing fleets. For instance, in a recent large scale operation, Port Mores Port Fewersby had to appear on the battle area as the objective of the Ra'esharn invasion fleet...
So I built one.
And then another.
And then a third.
Of course, there had eventually to be something more resembling a teeming metropolis: hence the city of Hugeville.
Hugeville (or whatever appellation applies in a given scenario or campaign) is just 48mm x 40mm; the other settlement 30mm square.
Of course they are overscale compared with the naval units for this project, but scale is not all that much of a concern. In the following picture, Port Fewersby can be seen on the southern coast of New Sterling...

Coming up: Battle of the Laroc Sea...
The objective markers work really well, lovely little towns.

Neat, little BUAs.

DeleteJust tokens, really, but fills a perceived gap. The 'city' was yet another 'doodle'...

Nice little towns Ion, something to fight for

Nice and simple and very effective:).

DeleteI could have done with a sharper blade, but the small places have a homely Berenstain Bears look about them, I think. Hardly martial at all!

Archduke Piccolo,
ReplyDeleteThese are excellent examples of tabletop build-up areas! They will serve their purpose very well indeed.
All the best,
